The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular area on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a rectangular one on the 1915 ed. and described as Lisnabostha in italic lettering on both. Situated on a low hillock in an undulating landscape. This is a rectangular grass-covered platform (dims 18.4m NE-SW; 16m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.45m at NW to 1.15m at SE) with numerous limestone grave-markers and a prominent stone with a triangular cross-section (dims 0.45m x 0.3m; H 0.7m) at the centre.
